It’s a revelation that probably wouldn’t shock Sherlock Holmes, but it turns out that star of BBC series “Sherlock” Benedict Cumberbatch shares a common ancestor with author and creator on ‘Sherlock Holmes’ Arthur Conan Doyle.

It feels like an age since the divisive Christmas special The Abominable Bride and now we’re just weeks away from another run. We will start series 4 again as soon as we hit new year with the opener airing on January 1st on BBC One at 8:50PM

Season 4 of BBC‘s top TV series “Sherlock” will officially premiere on Jan. 1 2017. Benedict Cumberbatch’s high-functioning sociopath, aided by the ever-faithful Dr. Watson, will face the potential return of his arch nemesis Moriarty in the first episode, “The Six Thatchers.”
